(Fig 21)
Material examined. 2♀, 1♂, INDIA, Karnataka, Bangalore, Hebbal, 10.vii.2013, David K. J.; 1♀, INDIA, Karnataka, Bangalore, Hebbal, 31.vii.2013, David K. J; 1♂, INDIA, Karnataka, Bangalore, Hebbal, 27.viii.2013, David K. J. (NBAIR).
This species has been adequately described by Hardy (1973) and Hancock and Drew (1999). It resembles A. tomentosa Hardy in possessing costal band interrupted by a hyaline transverse band just beyond cell sc, but differs in having scutellum entirely black except for a yellow mark on each side at base of basal scutellar setae and dark fuscous femora. It is now known from southern India, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Laos and Indonesia.
